Last post by Flightman - August 12, 2026, 07:20:11 PMCannot understand, why in some airports total expences remain but fuel cost lowers like it should. A220 compared to B737 should be less expensive to operate on all meters?

Very much this. A DC-3 is not a CRJ. Get used to tech stops. And understand that, despite the fact that DC-3 and similar planes of the era regularly flew "milk-run" routes (A-B-C-D-E-F-E-D-C-B-A), that is not modeled in AirwaySim. Routes are only A-B-A. Tech stops are just for fuel.

Last post by freshmore - August 08, 2026, 02:38:37 PMPro - Everyone is in the same boat
Cons - Same boat often means everyone going after same aircraft types early on, the used market pretty brutal early on. Additionally, 50's and 60's are pretty brutal switchovers when upgrading aircraft types. You'll be doing a long a manual switching from props to jets. You are going from props to jets after all. Depending on your view, this could gameplay interest or a con.
You'll also come up against short haul types being not always quite as capable as you are used to with regards to range in particular. There are plenty of useful but sometimes more limited capability types around. Long haul is also a given in this regard.
It's a bit of a culture shock starting in a long gameworld in the 50's, definitely need to go in knowing there is some hard work to do during certain points in your airlines development. I would echo some of the others and say, its something you need to experience rather than be told about and there will be quite a bit of learning from mistakes.

Last post by Archer619 - August 07, 2026, 01:45:54 AMJapan Aero Transit: Farewell of the Airbus A340-600
OSAKA, JAPAN (19-Jul-2017)
＝＝＝＝
Japan Aero Transit (JAT) announced a major update to its long-haul fleet strategy, marking the official retirement and farewell of its Airbus A340-600 fleet. The iconic quad-jet will be succeeded by the next-generation Airbus A330-800neo, which now steps in as JAT's new flagship widebody model across our primary intercontinental routes.
Honoring an Okinawa Long-Haul Pioneer
The Airbus A340-600 played a vital pioneer role in establishing JAT's long-haul network out of Naha/Okinawa (OKA). With its extended range and impressive capacity, the aircraft successfully proved the viability of connecting Okinawa directly across oceans, laying the groundwork for OKA to thrive as an international gateway. JAT expresses its deepest gratitude to our crew, engineers, and passengers who shared this unforgettable journey with our quad-engine flagship.
＝
The Airbus A330-800neo Era: Efficiency and Comfort
As we look to the future, passing the baton to the Airbus A330-800neo represents a seamless and superior upgrade for our long-haul operations. For our passengers, the new flagship Airbus A330-800neo introduces a refined cabin atmosphere, featuring whisper-quiet operations, enhanced seating comfort, and state-of-the-art inflight technology designed for long-distance travel.
＝
Looking Ahead
JAT will keep on expanding its footprint across key North American destinations, reinforcing direct connectivity from both our Okinawa and Nagoya hubs.

Last post by groundbum2 - August 06, 2026, 07:54:21 PMyou want to keep up with the big boys?
This is a bit like you and me saying we're off down the racetrack with our Ford Fiesta and needs some tips to keep up with Lewis Hamilton and his F1 car. A tall order.
Suggestion : Join an alliance and use all their knowledge in your airline. In the game identify which players you want to emulate, and watch and observe what they do. It'll probably take a few ganes but you get better and bigger each game. You can't jump from a pushbike to F1 podium !

Last post by Spotter2004 - August 06, 2026, 06:14:35 PMWhat I really mean is simply how I can keep up with the more advanced players in this sim right from the start.
Because they have experience with certain airports, routes, and which planes to use for them.
By the time I've found a good airport, they've already crammed it full of planes and routes
They'll also likely have notes on historical events that occur during the game and prepare for them accordingly—like 9/11, the COVID-19 crisis, etc.
So how likely is it that they'll go bankrupt from the beginning?
